Recipes

Recipes connect your menu items to the inventory ingredients they consume. Every time a confirmed order includes a recipe-linked item, TTT POS automatically deducts the correct quantities from stock — no manual counting required.

How recipes work

1. 1
   Create inventory items first

   Go to Inventory and make sure every ingredient you use (coffee beans, milk, flour, etc.) has an inventory record with a unit (kg, g, ml, unit).
2. 2
   Go to Recipes

   Navigate to Recipes in the sidebar and click New Recipe.
3. 3
   Link to a menu item

   Drag and drop the recipe onto the menu item in the menu management modal to link it.
4. 4
   Add ingredients

   Search for each ingredient and enter the quantity consumed per serving. The base unit is automatically fetched from the inventory item.
5. 5
   Save

   The recipe is now active. Every sale of that item will deduct the listed quantities from the corresponding inventory items.

Recipe variants

If a menu item has variations (e.g. Small / Medium / Large), you can create a separate recipe per variation so each size deducts the correct amount from stock.

Sub recipes

A sub recipe is a reusable preparation that can be used as an ingredient across multiple final recipes. For example, a House Sauce might be made from multiple raw ingredients — you build it once as a sub recipe, then reference it in as many menu item recipes as needed.

1. 1
   Create the sub recipe

   Go to Recipes → New Sub Recipe. Add the raw ingredients and quantities that make up the preparation.
2. 2
   Use it in multiple final recipes

   When building any menu item recipe, search for the sub recipe by name and add it as an ingredient with the quantity used per serving. The same sub recipe can be linked to as many final recipes as needed.

Items without recipes

Not every menu item needs a recipe. Items sold as-is (bottled drinks, packaged snacks) should be set up as Service Items in Inventory and linked directly — stock deducts per unit sold without a recipe.
